To the Veterans of the University:
This is the first time I have seen fit to use this means of com
munication in expressing my ideas to you. It is not the best way;
but under the circumstances it is the only way available. I would
much rather make this announcement at our regular meeting tonight,
but the matter on which I wish to make my position clear will be
over by that time.
Today the entire student body of which you men compose
one-third of the members has an opportunity to select the students
who are going to represent you on the various councils that will
make the decisions affecting you as students during your stay at
the University. It is up to all of us to take part in the selection of
those people if they are going to be true representatives of the
student body and not just the representatives of a few of the stu
dents who will take time to go to the polls and cast their ballots.
To be true representatives of you and your interests they must have
your support behind them.
As chairman of the Veterans Organization my position is very
plain; simply this: I do not endorse any party or any candidate in
either school, local, state or national politics; but as an individual I
am interested in seeing those whom I believe to be the best qualified
persons for the positions elected as our representatives.
Far be it from me, or anyone else, to ask you men to cast your
ballots in a certain way that is worse than not voting at all. It is
only too apparent that you men would never allow a situation such
as that to happen. The only thing that I would and am asking you
to do and that is to be sure and cast your ballot for someone. No
matter what party you belong to, or if you do not belong to any
party, it is your duty to yourselves and to the rest of the student
body to make yourselves felt on this campus by casting a ballot today.
All of the parties and the people who are running without sup
port of a party have presented their candidates for these offices. No
matter which of these candidates you favor, be sure and let the fact
be known at the polls today. As I have stated before, the only
way we can have representative government is to have the opinions
of all the student body the only way you can express your opinions
and make it count is through your individual ballot.
Marion Mitchell
Chairman, Veterans Organization.
Students:
Now is the time to choose! Take five minutes out and vote for
the students who will represent us all next year. If you wish to
have representative government you must cast a ballot. We hope
you will believe there is room for both Greek and Barb participation
on this campus, and will therefore support the Student Party candi
dates. The past year and half students elected to the Student Coun
cil and Publications Board have represented both affiliated and un
affiliated representatives elected by the majority of the student vote
Therefore since it has been proved that honest voting can take
place at the University of Nebraska it is criminal that we should
retrogress io forced voting, and power politics. The election today
is a test of student intelligence; it is up to you to decide whether
your vote can be controlled or if you wish to vote for the candidate
of your choice. The decision now rests with you as an 'individual.
Robert Ford Co-Chairman, Student Party
Here we come just a tippin'
and a toeing . . . and a blue Mon
day spent searching for news
(while watching William Powell
reveal his true self) . . .
By the way, though, we un
derstand Griff Jones is making
bets that he won't hang his pin
on Jean O'Neil within a year
. . . put fifty cents on that our
selves. We also bet there isn't
a gal on the campus as happy as
Myra Lee Haden whose fiance,
Chuck Christianson, is coming to
Lincoln next weekend to help
Myra fulfill happy plans.
Then Grand Island's Fred Van
dergriff is coming to Lincoln to
see Shirlee Wallace after being
introduced by his old flame . . .
such things do happen.
Little early, but the coming
weekend sees Ginny Swandberg
with Jack Hoyt to the Kappa for
mal and Glenn Miller. "Beauty
Queen" Blackburn is now play
ing cards with Dean Kratz, THE
TRACK STAR . . . Simply stating.
Here and There.
Odds and ends . . . George

around the campus . . . also a

party (and he was the life of it)
and Gracie Smith trying to help

jean Metzger.
Sunbathing still going on, and
Bob Dever debating between
suicide from the ATO roof or a

With no cumbersome poll tax and no federal enforced beverage
holiday, it should be simple to poll a greater percentage of eligible
voters than usual today. It's nice that eligible voters aren't as scarce
as eligible bachelors, or the basement of the Union might be as
quiet as the Dorm telephone exchange at 10:31. Flag out the ident
card, Mabel, use it for something besides a birth certificate for a
change.
Shades of Damon Runyan's Times Square street corners and
Roseland Ballroom. The Holy City now has a dance hall. Cut rate,
too, 9 cents a dance, three for 19 cents, plus tax. Drive by and
dance a few, or so the ad says. Us for the pavilion on Wednesday
and Friday from here on. . .
Oh to be head of the department, and be permitted to make
such startling statements as a recently heard: "I lie in my classes,
just to see how much you students will swallow." And he pre
varicates with such a sober face; bet he worried his Sunday school
teachers.
Flash! The ATO's have joined the navy's "We Know Lila" club.
Anti-Greek.
Can't understand why some people should be so violently anti
Greek. Without sorority and fraternity symbols, what could stu
dents carve on desks and forestry tables?
The music school is the most fascinating building on campus,
now that spring is here and windows are open. Where else could
one hear piano scales, "Ave Maria," "Polonnaise," vocal scales, boogie
and a wavering violin, all for free at one and the same time. Used
to think swing musicians must go crazy with all the noise, but since
that time we've discovered they begin trainng early, while .still in
school. Then there are those of us definitely "on the outside looking
in," who can't even whistle.
Only time this year we've seen more than a few students upset
about the same subject is this week's controversy over the student
council's resolution and Dean Thompson's letter. Wonder what size
shoe the Dean wears; he certainly put his foot into it. As for the
council, campus opinion seems to find it surprising, that the usually
slow-moving organization should this time have found the matter
so imperative as to permit no time for open discussion by any per
sons wishing to appear before the council either in opposition or as
proponents except the single outsider who instituted the whole pro
position. Reformation begins at home, we guess.
